Hi there. I'm pleading you to please share the new recovery file that you have so I can test. The latest one linked in the forums does not work with the newer variant of this phone with the new LCD driver. If you have a working recovery file, please share a link to it here(upload) or reply please so we can share contact info.

Please reply ASAP as I'm urgently in need.

Thanks in advance!

Also how did you repack it? I found no zImage when I unpacked the kernel. Please share steps - please. I've been searching the internet for months and now it seems you have got custom recovery working on the newer phones with the new LCD. Please reply ASAP - I'll be hugely grateful!

SOLVED
FOR ANYONE TRYING TO INSTALL CYANOGENMOD OR ANY OTHER CUSTOM ROM ON UMI ROME X, THE KERNEL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR DON'T FLASH KERNEL. PEOPLE WITH NEW DEVICES USE THE LATEST TWRP RECOVERY LINKED ON THE FIRST PAGE.

FIRST UNZIP THE ROM.
EITHER GO INTO META-INF/COM/GOOGLE/ANDROID AND THEN OPEN UPDATER-SCRIPT. REMOVE THE LINE TOWARDS THE END WHICH WRITES THE KERNEL (BOOT.IMG) - SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/boot");
AND THEN RE-ZIP FILE AND FLASH
OR
JUST DELETE BOOT.IMG AND THEN RE-ZIP AND F
OR
REPLACE THE BOOT.IMG WITH THE STOCK BOOT.IMG FROM ONE OF THE SPFT STOCK ROM FLASH THINGY

I hope this helped anyone out there with a UMI Rome X - I don't want others to endure the pain I did. For any help or inquiries regarding the UMI ROME X device (root, recovery, custom rom), reply to this message but I think I've linked everything below.

TWRP for UMI ROME X latest LCD 3.0.5 this worked for me as I had the newer LCD variant *TESTED*: http://www.mediafire.com/file/m7 ... .0.2-UMI_ROME_X.img
TWRP for UMI ROME X may work not tested : http://www.mediafire.com/downloa ... /TWRP3.0.0RomeX.img
CM 12.1 for older device with old LCD : http://www.needrom.com/download/cyanogenmod-9/
CM12.1 FOR NEW DEVICES WITH NEW LCD: http://www.needrom.com/download/cyanogenmod-9/ (same link but follow steps above - replace boot.img with stock kernel from ROM releases from UMI, delete it? or just delete the line which flashes it ^^^ we won't be able to flash new kernels without unlocking bootloader which I don't want to do as custom rom is enough)

Hope this helped and any questions, please do reply

If the phone is turned on immediately after, display is full 'black'. If the phone is allowed to 'cool' for few hours, display turns on for few seconds and again 'black'.
